"White Flight" is a fast-paced, nail-biting little gothic novella that delivers something unexpected: a seriously squirm-worthy look at American racism — (CemeteryDance.com review).
Join Peter O'Keefe at Blue House Books on Saturday, January 17th, from 12 to 3 p.m. to help celebrate his newest horror novel, "White Flight". Peter will be chatting with readers and signing books, so stop by anytime during the event to meet this Racine horror author!

About WHITE FLIGHT:
Joel and Willow Ward are white. Their Black teenage daughter, adopted at birth, was just killed by the police.
Now, their house is trying to K*ll them, and the grieving parents are trying to understand why.
And survive the night.
“WHITE FLIGHT by Peter O'Keefe opened with a roar and then I couldn't work my finger fast enough to keep up. A married couple attempts to navigate an unspoken tragedy haunting every corner of their dream house - and every layer of their dreams. But there's an undercurrent of racial disquiet lingering in the air that kept me on edge, like I was waiting on the other shoe to drop. O'Keefe deftly sets the landscape and paints a picture of a home wrapped in overwhelming sadness and dysfunction, but he also builds an unsettling suspense that makes you clench your throat because you just know there's something else there. And there is...something else.” — Kenya Moss-Dyme, author of "Seed"
